Core Systems has been awarded a contract to deliver its ATMOS2 ruggedized tactical computers for the US Army’s Command and Control-Now (C2NOW) program.
The C2NOW initiative is intended to rapidly field integrated command-and-control technologies to brigade combat teams and lower-level formations as part of the Army’s larger Next Generation Command and Control strategy focused on advancing battlefield management capabilities.
The California-based company stated that the ATMOS2 platform will act as the computing foundation for operational data systems, AI-driven tools, and other networked battlefield nodes supporting the initiative.
Designed for extended operational deployments, the system offers a projected seven-year service life backed by logistics and depot-level repair support.
Designed to Redefine Tactical Computing
The ATMOS2 is engineered to military standards for demanding operational environments and follows the US Army’s Modular Open Systems Approach, enabling future scalability and mission-specific upgrades.
The compact system integrates high-performance multi-core processors, solid-state storage, graphics processing units, and integrated backup battery capability within a single rugged chassis.
It also supports compatibility with multiple command-and-control software environments currently used by the Army, including the Command Post Computing Environment, Android Tactical Assault Kit, and Palantir-powered applications.
When fielded, the lightweight stackable device — weighing between 15 and 35 pounds (7 to 16 kilograms) — will replace legacy server systems that typically weigh over 250 pounds (113 kilograms).
